1 ConEd Learning Hour

12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Not sure of the difference between a premium and a rate? Need to understand “coverages,” but don’t know where to begin? Always wanted to know more about professional liability insurance, but certain you’d be bored?
Join Pro-Demnity Insurance for a fresh, straightforward, and informative perspective on professional liability insurance (PLI) and understand the protections it gives from allegations of errors, omissions, or negligence against you as a professional.
This session is ideal for architects planning or thinking about starting up their own practice in the future, principals with a Certificate of Practice who want a PLI refresher, and employees of an architectural practice who want to help their firm manage risk.

Learning Objectives:

• Pick up the correct insurance terminology and have a better grasp of professional liability insurance in general.
  
• Understand the claims-made policy and how professional liability insurance is different from other types of business insurance.
  
• An overview of PLI benefits, coverages, exclusions, and limitations provided by Pro-Demnity
  
• Gain insight into risks associated with practice and how PLI and Pro-Demnity can help.
